Expectation for Synthesis Expectation: More observations will allow inversions to capture the apparent sink associated with the harvest C signal in MCI Expectation: More observations will allow inversions to capture the apparent sink associated with the harvest C signal in MCI Higher resolution REGIONAL inversions! Higher resolution REGIONAL inversions! Alternative: The inventory does not accurately represent the CO 2 fluxes in the region and the apparent sink Alternative: The inventory does not accurately represent the CO 2 fluxes in the region and the apparent sink Further evaluate lateral transport out of region Further evaluate lateral transport out of region Improve ability of inventories to capture weather related impacts on CO 2 fluxes Improve ability of inventories to capture weather related impacts on CO 2 fluxes
